If you'd like to use a facial serum/facial oil with your dry brush, you can:
(1) Dry brush on a dry face then add serum after
(2) Put serum on skin then dry brush
(3) Apply a few drops of serum directly to your brush

To clean your brush, rub the bristles in dry arrowroot powder or bentonite clay, then tap out until all powder & residue is gone.

Great video for educating my patients. Thank you!

[@eonoe11]

As far as improvement for allergy problems, just four days of diligent daily routine of head to toe dry brushing and my breathing channels have opened to full capacity! I feel twenty years younger!head and neck dry brushing has had greatest impact.

[@brightbody]

Wonderful! So happy to hear it.

[@diose0078]

@eonoe11, how do you dry brush your head????????? Thank You, for your reply in advance.

[@eonoe11]

Dry brush head from centerline of face outward toward ears with soft brush very gently several times. From ears toward back of neck and downward. From lower jaw down front of neck. Go with grain of hair growth.

[@seekwisdom5102]

Thank You!!!

[@dalovelee666]

Thanks for this video. I purchased the softest brush for dry brush and I am following your steps. Doing light flickering. I can’t believe it’s that simple!

[@misanthropic985]

Thank you so much for this, it was extremely informative and right to the point with no unnecessary filler and jargon. You’re so beautiful and extremely generous to share your knowledge with us! I’m gonna add this to my morning routine.

[@CraftedD_555]

Great video

[@marciwilliams9369]

Thank you! Do you have a video for body dry brushing?

[@CalmVibesVee]

Thank you.

[@noslccp6140]

Woah.. my cheeks got nice and rosy after this! ☺ Thanks!❤

[@eddyvideostar]

To Nos CCP: Which cheeks?

[@caseyhassall9491]

Would this be the same thing you would do with a gusha tool as well? Thankyou for the help

[@cherrysam7305]

Well explained. This is what i am looking for. How many times each area and each side, best time to do dry brushing, etc. 😊

[@brightbody]

Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed.

[@chc2650]

My barber does this after cutting my hair, and I always wondered why it feels so good..

[@cindyalexis616]

I know this is a older video I just came across I’m 52 and just starting my journey to a healthier and better me the natural way without any chemicals would this work for aging crinkling saggy neck? I know the only true fix is surgery but I don’t want to do anything invasive I just want to try to see if that skin can be tightened just a little better..And how do you know if this is actually working for drainage are you supposed to feel anything

[@jnstuff1974]

Would this help indented scarring from past acne?

[@blanca2523ful]

Great tutorial... would this technique be useful for under eye bags. Thank you in advance

[@brightbody]

Hi there! Yes, it definitely is. Under eye bags are an indication of lymph stagnation, and dry brushing will help get lymph moving.

[@timothywilliams8857]

Gabby, Will dry brushing work for biorbital edemas and festoons that have suddenly appeared from blepharitas?

[@lr1732]

Lymphatic drainage can be a game changer with sinus infections, sore throats, cold and ear infections.

[@evelyndiaztapia1759]

The dry brush is After shower or before ?

[@mekamiller2557]

[@indianvlogerakitchentobeau8036]

🙏

[@juliamihasastrology4427]

I would start at the higher part of the face first and finish with the neck last. That way you clear the lymph more effectively

[@lalaladyvk]

That's not true you need to clear lymph closest to the nodes first, then move further away so the outer lymph has somewhere to flow, and then once you are the furthest you bring it all back close to the nodes again. Start close to the nodes, even massage them first to get stuff loosened to move.

[@malcolmx5633]

Hi, i did on my face but my pores are bigger makes me scare

[@bunkertons]

"don't poke yourself in the eye" immediately poked myself in the eye lol!

[@brendamccormack2996]

That's me, trying to brush my hair but getting my face when I'm drunk, who knew I was achieving something...

[@lmacnotw]

Is the e.l.f. cleansing face brush good for this? I just bought one and it's SUPER soft. I can't afford the brush you're using right now 😢

[@karlihabel8531]

L Riggs McAngus here’s a link to the set I have. It’s less than $20 and it’s a dry brushing set for your whole body. All that really matters is that you have a natural bristle. Synthetic bristles are going to be the ones that scratch and irritate the skin. www.amazon.com/dp/B07YD7ZS59/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_o5VUEbYDMNVZG

[@eleonorabettio1075]

Same here. I just bought one at Sephora today. The ones on Amazon don’t look the greatest 🙂

[@rosaduhanxhiu4170]

Thank you! how do you clean your brush? I have the same one but dont know how to clean it

[@amandagodfrey1771]

This is Iris Hantverk's how to on cleaning their brush. She is using corn starch. I think arrow root powder would do the job as well. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hIavYnSHn5KeqK8

[@brightbody]

Amanda has the right idea - use arrowroot, corn starch, or even kaolin or bentonite clay to clean.

[@driamikala]

@@brightbody I have so much kaolin so glad I can use it on the brush yay!

[@JesseEricksonSutton]

Do you recommend washing face after with water? Our using a toner or oil afterwards?

[@brightbody]

Great question. You can wash after and the best thing to do is to use a cooling toner like our Ayurvedic Universal Toning Mist.

[@rain7096]

👍

[@karmacentrik8412]

Thank you, any evidence of this helping tinnitus?

[@brightbody]

Hi there! Not sure. There are so many potential causes of tinnitus so I think it really depends.

[@triarb5790]

That's a question to direct to your ENT specialist.

[@lmacnotw]

Does this help with loose skin on the neck and chin/jaw?

[@karlihabel8531]

L Riggs McAngus not really. Gua sha is a much better method. Personally, I feel like you need both. I dry brush my whole body twice a week (on the days I wash my hair) and gua sha everyday after my regular shower. There are a lot of helpful videos on KZbin to help you get started. Dry brushing my body + face takes me a max of 10 min (I spend the most time on my face). Gua sha takes about 10 minutes as well. Honestly, they’re small commitments but I can’t recommend them highly enough.

[@brightbody]

Hi there! Any kind of lymphatic drainage is going to help with overall skin integrity, including firmness. Gua Sha and gemstone rolling (done properly - technique is everything) can be very helpful as well. Something else to look up is connective tissue massage (upward strokes, medium pressure) vs. lymphatic drainage (downward strokes, little to no pressure)!

[@mr-bi3tf]

Is dry brushing risky for acne-prone skin? I’m on edge about getting a brush due to my blemishes!

[@brightbody]

Hi there! Great question. Don't ever go over active pustules with the brush but you can definitely brush AROUND them and lymphatic drainage will prevent, treat, and heal acne.

[@eddyvideostar]

To Mr: Exactly. Then you have to worry about the cleanliness of the brush.

[@412mystic]

does gua sha give the same results?

[@brightbody]

It depends on what you're going for! There are many ways to do Gua Sha - for lymph drainage, for connective tissue massage - and they each require different techniques. What were you hoping to achieve?

[@sumiji888]

How often should we wash the brush?

[@brightbody]

I definitely don't recommend "washing" the brush in the traditional sense - no water and soap. This can can cause moisture to get trapped in the bristles and very quickly degrade the quality of the brush. Instead, dip in something like arrowroot powder or bentonite clay, swish around, and then tap out all the excess!

[@444truthteller]

What about sinus pressure?

[@brightbody]

Absolutely, dry brushing will help with sinus pressure when done correctly.

[@meowzah2495]

I bought this brush and it's too soft

[@organicdes5369]

What about nose?

[@brightbody]

We don't ever go directly over the nose because there are no lymph nodes on the nose itself. HOWEVER there are many nodes around the nose along the cheeks. Making sure to properly drain from the middle of the face outwards will do the trick.

[@MG-fw9gj]

Thank you🙏💕 you're such a cutie. 😁

[@TheGracefacekiller]

Play at 1.75 and thank me later 🥰

[@triarb5790]

Pleasepleasepleaseplease please talk, in person, to a professionally qualified Dermatologist before doing any such thing like this.

[@normah451]

What are your concerns?

[@jarintasnem5446]

Many Dermatologists are not fond of this practice and believe it can do more harm than benefit. Apparently, it causes micro-abrasions and can be irritating for sensitive skin. It also cause more itchy skin over time due to Histamine release from skin trauma. In some cases can cause over production of melanin. This is why considering options is important before doing something potentially damaging.

Why use a brush -- use your hands.
